815+HP Supercharged Chevy SS hurting feelings at Powercruise USA 

It’s the best looking SS on RU-vid hands down,The attention to detail is insane.

Cool car mate , it is a credit to you .

You people dont understand what a sleeper is at all. It says SS on it for one anything that sounds like that is no sleeper.

@@springwoodslasher79 “Super Sleeper!”

THIS is really the best looking car ong!! And it's my favorite model year

Yeah i can't believe people kept saying the Stinger was just as good as a stonking behemoth fire breathing V8 lol

This car is lit

@@DEVILTAZ35 To be honest, the Stinger is a really good car and I do own a VF2 Motorsport Edition.

Well said! I love how our brothers from down under are so into cars. I didn't always realize that. You guys do it right down there!

Oh, the looks one would get if seen and heard driving a Bathurst edition on the US side. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I had to venture North past Grand Junction Road for work the other week and V8 Commodores are everywhere. Meanwhile in my area I rarely see any.

You can thank Gough Whitlam (Lima Declaration) and the trade union movement for the death of Oz manufacturing.

@@garethwest9069 lol wtf? Joe Cockeye & the liberals killed Holden.

The cops are taking over one of the factories. Im pretty sure that there's another vehicle company planning to take over at least 2 more factories

@@greatest_bumble_bee_dude Any idea what they intend to use it for?

Well said.

Love seeing the VF commodore in the US

Better tech than a BMW. Lol Keep dreaming.

@@gibby5335 No, not dreaming, but you are a clueless beemer fanboy.

@@DSRQ1 don't drive a BMW. Cute reply though. Keep driving those mediocre rides ;)

@@DSRQ1 hahahahah. Beat it, peasant. I wouldn't be caught dead in that.

@@gibby5335 I see. Then you are one who sets his goals low and fails to achieve them.

Do you know why? He took off all the tacky chrome. It’s a shame this card didn’t sell more

Yeah dude I love this SS, so well done. He thought of everything

Isn't it!

@@TheParentalRevolution They sold every unit they manufactured

@@TheParentalRevolution They could be ordered with or without chrome, or at least in Australia you could. Seems about half of them are without chrome.

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a really fun video to make!

Thank you so much! 😁

Agreed ! But...titanium springs ?

@@kennethalbert4653 yeah it sounded silly in retrospect. As beautiful as I am, I'm not actually on camera that often and was a little nervous 😅

@@joewasmund5173 Thank you for your service !

No one mentions the 3.0 Omega .

Never met anyone who's put Holden and Quality in the same sentence..

​@@mvnorsel6354I have one. Just about to do the 420,000km service. Nothing has fallen off it, it gets about 8s on the road. I'll drive it until it EXPLODES!

Nice commo mate. From Australia

@@slicktop2jz855 thanks mate! 🤙

Our pleasure! She's a beautiful beast!

@Joe Wasmund. Thanks for your service to our country sir🇺🇸. You have built yourself a beautiful car. I love it!🏎💨💨

Definently do the headliner. I did mine to black alacantara, looked significantly better. Its pretty crazy how well the stock mufflers flow. I had an '14, did ARH catless headers and their x-pipe with stock mufflers. Sounded amazing...

What year is ur ss holden?

you should sell them asap

Thank you so much!

@@potcommitted5355 been good to me commuting an hour each way to work 🤷

@@joewasmund5173 the stock bottom end is pretty stout. Around here at least modified NA they regularly spin them to 7000 - 7200+rpm. I'm not sure what the forced induction guys take them to stock. After that you're playing with fire as far as rods, rod bolts are concerned. Good maintenance schedule with frequent oil and filter changes will definitely not hurt especially if it's a combination daily/track car. Love the car 👍

Thank you! 😁

Chevy is American though

@@MayorMcheese12 it’s an Aussie built Holden Commodore that was exported to the US as a Chevy SS.

Next level? That's just a normal commie in NZ and Aussie😂😂😂

Lol, just proof the grass looks greener on the other side. But you know I can totally understand that. I bet you guys down under do that to alotta Holden's. But be proud of what you guys have done. We here in the states wouldn't have the SS Impala OR the GTO if it weren't for Holden.

@@wadebradley7388 Cheers man, we really did have some great engineers and a great culture until we got totally screwed out of it. I mean, you wouldn't have the C8 Corvette or the current Camaro if not for the VE Commodore platform... Which the Victorian tax payers paid for developing AND the tooling to export the Caprice in LHD for the cops. The mid engine vette wouldn't have been plausible if they didn't use the VE. I'm not bitter about it or anything... OK maybe a little. We deserve a C8 and Camaro with the steering wheel on the correct side of the car that isn't three times the price. Seems like a small consolation

@@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 I agree brother. I did mention what you just said about the Camaro in another reply to this vid. I said we wouldn't have the Camaro if it weren't for the platform the GTO came on. I suddenly can't recall the name you guys had for the GTO. But we still love the GTO, I live in Macon Georgia, about 80 miles south of Atlanta. And there's plenty of GTOs here in my city I saw one yesterday, actually heard it first. You can't mistake the sound of a LS with a stick behind it slowing to a stop. It's a head turner. Lol. Can I ask what happened, did the Holden plant close or something, seems I remember reading something like that. But I'm 55 and my memory isn't what it was. But definitely we have you guys to thank for ALL of our latest performance cars. Holden and it's incredible engineers have made it easy for a platform or a finished car to come over here with a slightly different nose and rebadged as a bowtie. Wod you please tell me more about the police car you guys developed and what it has to do with the current Corvette. That sounds like an amazing history lesson for all of us. We know you guys down under LOVE your V8 supercars. I watch the Australian V8 Supercar championship every time it comes on. So I can see Australian/American V8 cars compete against Europe's finest. It's a great series! I must say brother, were incredibly sorry for what our "appointed" president has done. We are so so thankful NOONE thus far has blamed us personally. Hopefully enough states have passed laws to prevent what happened in 2020 won't happen again. Just the other day my state Georgia came out with a report that said 43,000 illegal votes were counted. That was well more than enough to win the state of Georgia. Arizona has just cometed a more intensive investigation and found the same situation. We don't yet know the details. But there was foul play for sure. Hopefully we will have Trump or someone else besides someone like potato head joe! This shebacle in Afghanistan has cut us Americans way deep to. The only person it doesn't seem to bother is joe himself . Anyways sorry I went so off topic. Tell me more about what went wrong and the platform for the police car and how it helped with the C8. I'd love to hear it! Thanks my brother!

You're still allowed to watch RU-vid from there?

@@twiztid6977420 Sort of.

Average at best in australia

I know this bloke who bought one of the last HSV Senator Signatures and sent it to Harrops for Stage 4 work. I prefer JDM and Euro vehicles but that thing is super nice.

@@alastairdow-taylor4103 always one barra lover on these types of channels lol

Thanks mate! Was very sorry to see Holden go, and wanted to keep it alive here in the states.

@@joewasmund5173 Good on you mate. Enjoy SS Commodore. 😄

ADL reppin'!

That’s G shit. I love it.

Same car either way. I love the Impalas

Nah only Wa@%ers re badge them, Australia shut down our car manufacturing industry so we can't get them any more anyway

Meee Tooo. #s204 #impreza #subaru

They were well built and well sorted for our roads too.

My dream car growing up was the gen 4 legacy gt. I got one in 2009, but now I’m grown up and my dream cars are way more intense. This is def in the top five. I hope to get one in the next year or two, before they all vanish for good

Not just Holden, but Ford too.

@@125AXer we don’t care about ford here mate

Appreciate it! I'll take care of her, don't worry 👍

I have a 40th anniversary GTO, it has "builder/technician tag" plates in a couple spots..

@@bigharrykochenbauls4567 Awesome ! From what I've heard they didn't seem to be as popular in the state's for some reason but here they were badged as MONARO, which was paying homage to our classic muscle cars of the 60's and 70's and these later one's, they were bought and still driven with great pride. To have a 40th anniversary edition is super cool,, a lot of people here would cut off a limb to have what ya got there mate. Happy and safe motoring.👍👍

I'll bet the majority of workers at the Holden plant voted ALP, too. smh

Thank you!

I am looking for a caprice too! Keep me posted on your build, but please don't tell everyone! Lol

@@TigerNinjaDragon oh shit good idea! I’d want the Ute even more than the sedan! 🥵 But aren’t they too new to import?

@@lucasblanchard47 look at the VIN wiki channel, they have a video on how you can import a Holden.

Thank you 🤙

This was the slogan of holdens HSV's range (just a hotted up ss) "I JUST WANT ONE"

You're right mate. 😉

Thank you!

Ive wanted one since chevy released these. i like the practicality of sedans so ive been watching the prices since like 2015. Ever since the first couple used ones starting popping up, these cars have been ridiculously overpriced. Never seen one in person, no clue who actually buys these, but yet a car that was $44k new in 2015 is still going for $40k with 80,000 miles. The prices have actually been pretty stable at $32k-45k over the past 5 years, but the miles continue to go up. Good luck finding one man. Check out the pontiac g8 gxp

@@pauliewalnuts240 prices going up here in Australia too since they stopped production

It's cheaper to get a g8 GXP (not by much) or even to manual swap a regular g8 gt. The used market for the SS is insane and good luck finding a manual.

@ Paulie Walnuts That’s so true man. Rarely ever see them. I actually saw one of the orange ones last week downtown here when I was on lunch. I was staring like I saw a unicorn. Definitely uncommon. 6 months later and I still don’t have one. Of course everything just keeps going up now. Having to replace my transmission on my gto next month so after that I’ll be selling. But the SS’s are still more than I want to spend so idk what I’m gonna do for now.

Thanks homie 🤘

Thanks man! I miss that E39 sometimes but this SS is just too fun.

Prices have always been high for this car. The decision to make this car thousands of miles outside of the US is why it flopped.

@@marcusharris113 It didn't flop, they sold every single unit they had to. GM had an agreement with Holden to sell 12,000 for them in the U.S. over four years, which they did. That's also why they never marketed the car, they didn't care. They were just going to honor that agreement, nothing more nothing less

Thank you!

Thank you! So they aren't original headlights that were then blacked out. They're brand new ADM headlights that were modified and then had a LHD beam pattern conversion. I went though UnspokenDesign on Instagram, but there are a couple of people that do it. I highly recommend him though, he was wonderful to work with. Just prepare your wallet and for a bit of a wait time to get them in your hands!

@@joewasmund5173 Sounds good - thank you!

What a fucking animal of a car dude! I’m saving up for a maloo 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@toe the line nah Bud it now will be 1 of 1 the only 7L GTSR in the world and the only 1000+hp in the world and when I drag race it it will be the fastest GTSR in the world 🌎 but think what u want I’m okay with that 😎

Def 1000+

Thank you God bless you as well

Thank you sir!

It's a Holden Commodore otherwise known as a Vauxhall vxr8 in uk otherwise known as a Chevy SS!
